There's a lot I can say about J. Cole but represents for his brand of "likeable mainstream average rapper guy" and most people that fit in that pocket I don't actually find as charismatic so I'm glad he's the biggest. Like I would actually be J Cole's friend and still not be his biggest fan

I am not a J. Cole guy but I tried up to Born Sinner. That one with Daylyt and Absoul about a year ago and then I listened to this and it's like a totally different rapper than that era. The way he slows the flow down and picks it back up again & repeat is literally.. a flow state lol, few can do it

It's kinda like Silent Scope mixed with a rail shooter. It's hectic as you're constantly switching views but it's supposed to be that way, leading to a higher skill ceiling than other SF games... but the level design doesn't always accommodate the heightened control

I thought SFZ was a refreshing and very fun but not perfect game, really the best scenario I could have hoped for. Considering the niche type of arcade game I find fun I feel lucky they got to make the game they wanted

Platinum lately is a great filter to discern whether the player goes for superficial hooks and vague brand identity over depth. Star Fox Zero was the antiNG4 as fans had a notion of what SF should be and SFZ was too innovative. NG4 is just a misguided attempt at cloning and "updating" NG w/ none

Sideload a PS2 emulator and play The Punisher on the Quest Pro. Best of both worlds and runs better than the real hardware.

The initial fan base will be totally alienated as the bandwagoners find out about this cool underrated game that took how many years? 6 months before the sequel comes out.

It will come out. Games in development hell have massive launches: Cyberpunk, most every recent SSB, recently Silksong, soon to be GTAV. It will probably be bad and sell gangbusters.

It's antithetical to trends that arose out of console gaming: saving, overlong and unskippable cutscenes, handholding, slow pace, gutting of score systems

Judging by how often I see this sentiment about Democrats not caring, making public statements loudly and as often as possible would be appreciated.

Add Tumblepop it somehow is going under the radar right now, and it even has an excellent demo

Yeah they're implying that fans of the game don't actually like it, kinda rude to those people for no reason.

I've only played the Steam demo but it seemed pretty reasonably difficult in hard mode, and not in a cheap way.

Half-Life 2 was probably the most influential but at least they locked you in a room so you can fuck around a bit

I was really disappointed when I finally got a force feedback wheel and realized the game doesn't actually have FFB. For Daytona and etc. yes a wheel is ideal but without FFB it's just a worse but more intuitive controller.

NICE run! Have you played Final Vendetta? It's a simpler game but somehow I still can't beat the game with Claire on the hardest difficulty. Might be worth a shot

I will pirate your game and my only general rule is that if I beat it I must purchase it. Everything else is on a case by case basis. Most games I only play for an hour or two.

M2 does care and makes good ports. They have a series of ports to 3DS that has a lot of classic SEGA Genesis/arcade stuff with new features and 3D support. In most cases better than the original games. Even some obscure stuff like Galaxy Force II and Power Drift made the cut.

The "Metaverse" still exists within Quest headsets as Meta Horizon. It's been shoved into the operating system in ways I don't care for and want to disable, but it's there. A lot of the money went into investing in their wearable tech. I don't care for it either, but it it exists.

If Yu Suzuki or AM2 had a hand and it was made in the 80s or 90s it was probably innovative in some way. Almost every Virtua game left a massive impact on the industry.
